Is Kileigh a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Kileigh: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Kileigh, and how old are they?
An estimated 654 Americans named Kileigh and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 20 years old and half are between 16 and 24. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 588 people named Kileigh (585 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 655 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
